I'm behind a gateway, so this failed immediately with an unknown host message. The problem is that I now can't read news because every time I start up Gnus, this ftp process starts and fails leaving me looking at it's buffer instead of at my groups. Restarting XEmacs doesn't help either. How do I tell Gnus to stop trying to fetch these archives, I have no interest in them. Many Thanks. *buffer* open ftp.hpc.uh.edu ftp.hpc.uh.edu: unknown host ftp> Process *ftp ftp@ftp.hpc.uh.edu* kill open ftp.hpc.uh.edu ftp.hpc.uh.edu: unknown host ftp> Process *ftp ftp@ftp.hpc.uh.edu* kill __________________________________________________________________ Sent by Yahoo!
